MIT-licensing this after building it solo for your own workflow is a solid move, way better than watching people pay $29/month for something this scoped.

@irahimiam Thank you, I really appreciate that!
I originally built Capptivo to solve my own workflow, and over time I kept adding features I genuinely needed, like Epic Pen-style annotations while recording etc. I use it every day, and because it's built with Rust and Tauri, it's lightweight, fast, and cross-platform.
At some point, I realized it was just sitting in my private GitHub repository when it could actually help students, teachers, creators, and anyone who can't justify paying $29/month for a screen recorder.
I believe Capptivo has a lot of potential, and with the help of the open-source community, it can grow into one of the best tools for creating demos and tutorials, while offering features that many paid products still don't have.
